“Call me an Uber.”/“You’re an Uber!”

“Call me a taxi.”/“You’re a taxi!” is an old joke. Uber is a global taxi technology company. American journalist James Lileks wrote in the StarTribune (Minneapolis, MN) on April 19, 2014:
   
“Call me an Uber. OK, you’re an Uber.”
 
A joke about the Apple intelligent personal assistant Siri was posted on Twitter on September 15, 2016:
   
“Siri, can you call me an Uber?”
Siri: Okay, you’re an Uber.
 
A joke about the Amazon intelligent personal assistant Alexa was posted on Twitter on November 8, 2017:
   
“Hey Alexa, call me an Uber.”
“Alright, you’re an Uber.”
   
     
Wikipedia: Uber (company)
Uber Technologies Inc. is a global taxi technology company headquartered in San Francisco, California, United States, operating in 633 cities worldwide. It develops, markets and operates the Uber car transportation and food delivery mobile apps. Uber drivers use their own cars although drivers can rent a car to drive with Uber.
 
The name “Uber” is a reference to the common (and somewhat colloquial) word “uber”, meaning “topmost” or “super”, and having its origins in the German word über, meaning “above”.

Should Uber, the car-hire service that’s popular with consumers but unpopular with competitors, be allowed to enter the local market?
